Last week, while touring the jail with the incoming county executive and his team, Cuyahoga County Interim Sheriff Steven Hammett reportedly lost consciousness and fell to the floor, prompting questions about his ability to head the department.

CLEVELAND, Ohio –

“As the representatives for over 700 law enforcement officers employed by the sheriff’s department, we are concerned for the interim sheriff’s health, wellbeing, and ability to perform his required duties,” the letter said. “Not only are our member-officers entitled to know that the interim sheriff can perform the essential functions of his job, but so too are the citizens of Cuyahoga County.”“I was under the weather and now I’m fine,” he said.

Hammett and Ronayne were talking while stopped in one of the less restrictive housing pods, as inmates moved around them, when his knees appear to buckle and he falls backward, a video recording of the incident provided tocleveland.com
